The "fliresher, official newspaper of students at the Rice
Institute, Houston, is published every Friday morning

vacation and during examination periods.

postoffice in Houston, Texas, under the act of March 3, 1879.

The OWL Howls
Some weeks ago we printed an editorial dealing
with the Owl, a publication, or sheaf of printed
matter, which appears from time to time on the
campus. In that editorial we tried to express, with
politeness and tact too undeserved to be sincere,
some ideas which are commonly known to be only
! true. A great number of people have advised that
they consider such a petty matter beneath the 110-
! tice of The Thresher, a journal with a long record
For those students who went to
Austin for the Rice-Texas game, the
past Week-end offered much excite-
ment. The student special featured
entertainment by the Rice band. The
game was everything in the way of
thrills that could be desired. A large
number of Rice students attended the
German at Gregory Gym Saturday
evening where Irvin Roses' orchestra
played. Others found entertainment at
Club Forest, fraternity and sorority
parties, etc.

By Ed McClanahan
New York, Nov. 1,—Has it over oc-
curred to you to doubt that time worn
phrase—"love is the same the world
over"? Chances are it never has but
nevertheless, the fellow who commit-
ted himself on the subject was badly
mis-informed . . . at least as far as
the local situation compares with
Houston and other small places. And
if you're going to be hard headed and
unconvinced, I'll do a bit of reciting
and try to prove the point,
Love in New York is no modest hot
house plant requiring privacy and se-
clusion. Rather, it's a hardy weed
that flourishes on any soil and under
any circumstances. The spotlight and
open gaze mean nothing. It is indif-
ferent to attention, inspection or com-
ment. A thousand eyes may be focused
upon a pair of lovers, but if they are
so inclined—and they usually are —
they will go into a clinch wholeheart-
edly and without the slightest hint of
self-consciousness.
But to erase any wonderment in
your minds as to why there should be
such a large audience for such a pri-
vate affair, it might be advisable to

tion, and much to hit amazement he
found the same couple going through
their demonstration. He grew curious
and watched them this time. When
the train hour passed, the guards
slammed the gate shut and the affec-
tionate couple strolled away arm in
arm. He followed them to the Penn-
sylvania Station where they stopped
before a gateway leading to an out-
bound train, and again started a ling-
ering, loving farewell. Finally, a great
light dawns upon my bewildered
friend; he realized he was witnessing
a very sound solution to the problem.
Undoubtedly, t his heart - rendering
scene was presented to the public as
long as trains lasted.
So, the next time you're out with
your swain or sweetie (as the case
may be), end you turn the old bus
into Bellaire or the dark regions of
Braeswood, don't forget to remember
how fortunate you are to be Out alone
with the little gal or guy and although
you may not be "lucky in love", at
least your success or failure is a pure-
ly personal matter and nobody on the
campus will know what happened . . .
not until the next morning, anyway.
